evars

Hi,

 

I have a Header Menu event with 2 evars,evar1-linktext, evar2-linksection and login event with the same 2 evars , linktext and linksection.

 

Both evars  1 and 2 having allocation-most recent(last) and expiration - visit.

 

On reporting I see login event evars under header menu event's evar

 

But while I see on the debugger the value is perfect assigned under their respective events.

 

Is this something to do with persistence or expiration?

Yes, changing to "Hit" expiration would solve your issue.

I don't understand your problem. It sounds like you're basically doing this:

When the user clicks a header menu (I assume it's the "Login" button in the header):

s.eVar1 = "link text"

s.eVar2 = "link section"

s.events = "eventX" (you didn't specify which success event you're using to count your login events, so I'm just going with the placeholder "eventX" here)

In that case, isn't what you're seeing the correct report?

Note: since your eVars persist for the entire visit, then it is possible for the eVars to also be reported with other non-login events, which occur later in the user's journey.

The header menu event here is capturing the page names in the site like Home, Services, Contact Us etc.

For login separate event is created which will capture user login type.

 

Yes, as you said then it may be eVars which got persisted since expiration is set to visit.

 

So, changing it to hit will resolve?
